Summary
Time of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer for Research on Airborne Particles and their impact on Health and the Environment. No TOF-AMS is currently available in Australia and thus, if acquired, it would significantly enhance Australian research capabilities in a field of high importance for the country and internationally, which is the nature and chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols, their origins and dynamics.

No TOF-AMS is currently available in Australia and thus, if acquired, it would significantly enhance Australian research capabilities in a field of high importance for the country and internationally, which is the nature and chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols, their origins and dynamics. The proposed studies with the application of this instrument would greatly increase scientific knowledge of atmospheric particles; would contribute to general welfare and economy in terms of enabling qualitative risk assessment of airborne particles on humans and the environment, and in turn, risk prevention. It would also enable the University partners to continue to produce graduates of high quality, conversant with cutting edge science.Read moreRead less
